Measuring system with a measuring device and a scan module

摘要

The surveying system (50) has pivoting structure (20a) provided on base (20b). A motorized rotatable beam deflector (11) is provided for deflecting scanning beam (60). A second angular position surveying unit (13) is provided for determining rotation angle of angular position of deflector. A control and processing unit for data processing and for controlling surveying system is designed such that respective rotation angle of respective pivot angle and respective distance to point on the object are linked to generate number of positions containing point cloud. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) method for generating scan point cloud; and (2) computer program product comprising program code stored on machine-readable carrier for controlling or performing scanning method for generating point cloud.
